"Do I Smell A Hater? Nah, It's Da Truth!": Calvin Klein (Not The Designer) Put's Jay-Z On BLAST!
Aight y'all Calvin Klein a former Brooklyn drug dealer who used to chill with Jay-Z back in the day appeared on DJ Kay Slay's show putting Jay on BLAST, saying that he's the one responsible for launching Jay-Z's career and that yes like the song Ether says, Jay-Z is indeed a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, and a Stan! Here's bits and pieces of his interview below. I didn't put everything he said because I know y'all ain't going to read it. LOLObama Rocks With VIBE
VIBE has gone political for the first time and I'm very proud of them because it's going to generate blacks,the young, hip-hop, and everyone else who reads the mag towards the election. Im so excited BARAK OBAMA graced the cover! He's not the first African-American to run for President, but he is the first to run against a woman, Hilary Clinton!! America ain't going to know what to do with themselves. I'm unsure of who I'm voting for because they both have really good ideas and campaigns (politicians are liars anyway) and I'm not picking Obama just because he's black that would be ignorant ... so, I have to see what else they can come up with to grab my attention. Well, tell me who y'all voting for and why??Source VIBE
"ILL? Nah, Nah":What Was Foxy Brown Thinking?
I will admit that rapper Foxy Brown a.k.a Inga Marchand is a pretty girl, but WTF let go of that same tired gel'd up curly weave that you've been rocking since you dropped your first album. One thing can be said for sure, at least she still looks like herself unlike some other people. Cough, Cough...Lil Kim

LIFE IN THE FAB LANE:Watch The Premiere of Kimora Lee Simmons New Reality Series
Kimora Lee Simmons new reality series "Life In The Fab Lane" premieres Sunday, August 5, 2007 on Style Network and I can't wait! I've seen the previews and this show is HILARIOUS! In every episode Kimora shows viewers what it takes to run a fashion empire and be a mom. So, make sure y'all use the bathroom, eat dinner etc... before the show comes on because I don't think you'll want to miss a damn thing! "I Will Not Loose":Jay-Z Launching Multimedia Rocawear Ad Campaign
Rap mogul turned entrepreneur Jay-Z is launching a multimedia ad campaign promoting Rocawear clothing. The campaign is called "I Will Not Loose" which he explains to All Hip-Hop is "meant to inspire consumers while promoting Hip-Hop culture and the lifestyle supporting it". Now, you are looking at one smart Black boy. Like the song says, "Momma ain't raise no fool. Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. I, will, not, lose!" And he isn't lying, Jay-Z definitely knows how to make money without selling himself out, unlike his ex-partner Dame Dash; who I believe would endorse anything for some extra cash. The campaign is scheduled to drop Aug 15th on www.iwillnotloose.org. Celebrities showing their faces on the ads include Ciara, Chris Brown, Three 6 Mafia, Rich Boy, Tocarra, and more. I really wan't to say something about Tocarra, but I'm going to leave her alone for now since this is a positive subject.(lol) Y'all can also become part of the ad campaign by submitting videos telling your stories of survival. Two winners will be chosen and will be featured in Rocawear's Spring/Summer 2008 Campaign.Source All Hip Hop
"Boo, Will You Marry Me?":Eddie Murphy Pops The Big Question
Its official Eddie Murphy has proposed to Tracy Edmonds. Eddie popped the question with a phat a$$ yellow diamond engagement ring. I'm wondering if Tracy will keep BabyFace's last name. How does this sound Tracy Edmonds Murphy? I'm not even going to lie, but it flows. But, Eddie you know you're wrong. You got Scary pregnant, dumped her, hooked up with Tracy, denied the baby was yours, and now you're getting married! Seems like it's always something new with this dude.Source TMZ

Kanye West Album Cover
Kanye West' album "GRADUATION" is coming out on September 11th and there are speculations that the design for the album cover is not final. On his fansite http://www.kanyetalk.com/ there are submissions of different art work for the album cover and Mr. West is going to pick which one he likes the best. I'm not too sure how true this is, but it seems interesting. The picture above is just one of the many covers being leaked on various sites.Source Kanyetalk.com
A Hot Ghetto Mess
BET's new television show "Hot Ghetto Mess" hosted by Charlie Murphy is by far one of the most controversial shows on main stream T.V. The title of the show is exactly the concept of the show. "A Hot Ghetto Mess" shows African-Americans doing some of the worst and most embarrassing things and we know we have to admit we have lots of those moments. Check out the site and the letter from the editor to understand before you bash it!!! Plus the song on the main page is HILARIOUS http://www.hotghettomess.com/index.php. It features pictures, quick interviews with regular people walking on the street and more. I've seen the show and it's quite funny and REALLY TRUE!! The reason why I love this show goes beyond the humor of our people. Its an eye opener, it gives you raw footage of what we do and how we portray oursleves. Anyone with common sense knows this doesn't speak for all African Americans, but it speaks for a damn good majority. One of the perks of the show was when Charlie Murphy asked random African-Americans questions that any one of us should know ,~i.e How many blacks are there on the supreme court justice panel? All kinds of answers were given; 12, 20, and 50! Well, there is 1 and how in the hell do you get 20 if there are only 9 got darn Supreme Court Justices (wow)!! So, I give the show a thumbs up for hilarity and motivation so you can get your knowledge on!

Wifey and Stylist...
Alexis Phifer is Kanye West' stylist turned fiancee. I don't know about yall, but this is news to me. Kanye has an interview in Harpers Bazaar (the illest fashion magazine) talking about she kept him fresh. Well, I would hope so since he has decided to marry her. But, I must say Kanye has TASTE because she is really pretty. If being a stylist can get you a man like Kanye then I should have been styling instead of persuing a career in Journalism. (smh)Note:"It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth"- Kina, you dumb late boo. I don't know what you seeing because shorty been looking horrid lately. LMFAO!

Konvict Muzik!!!!: Akon Working On Paris Hilton's Next Album

I don't know why anyone would want to work on an album with Paris Hilton, but I guess since she's so popular for doing completely nothing Akon sees some major dollar signs in his future. Shorty is so wack that Warner Bros. dropped her from their label. Now, my question to Warner Bros is, "Why da hell y'all signed her in the first place?" Akon recently explained to reporters his reason for wanting to work with the heiress on her next album. "In my mind I was thinking now Paris Hilton is an official convict, I think I'm gonna work with her and put a record out." Well, I guess that makes sense Akon!

We Know Where Aubrey Is, But What Happened To The Rest Of Them?: Danity Kane Squashes Rumors About Breaking Up
Lately, I've been seeing Aubrey every where especially partying with Kim KardASShian and her hoe's. Aubrey recently told TMZ that she was leaving "Danity Kane", some sh!t about wanting to be a Pussy Cat Doll. I guess she realized she will never be a Pussy Cat Doll and decided to take back what she initially said. Diddy done gassed shortys head up making her think she's IMPORTANT! Well, her bandmates wanted to set the record straight. Source TMZ, All Hip-Hop.com

"Gorilla Unit Cuz": Meet 50 Cent's Long Lost Brother...

Meet Rapper 50 Cent's brother from another mother! He just came off tour performing for the Bronx ZOO. He goes by the name of "Dollar". I guess he knows he's worth more than 50. LMFAO!!! Now, that's for f@*$k!n with Kanye, although I can't stand his cocky a$$.WAIT TILL I GET MY MONEY RIGHT, Right??
September 11th, damn I used to think of 9/11 as the day the Twin Towers fell. Now, I can't think of nothing else but 50 and Kanye. Leave it up to the rap game to turn an important day into some battle of the albums (smh. Why am I not surprised?) . Kanye West' album "GRADUATION" was supposed to drop August 21st and 50's album "Curtis" was supposed to drop September 4th, but now both artists have changed their release dates to September 11th. As arrogant as the two are, I must say that's going to be one hell of a battle. 50 cent told radio personel Funk Flex that Kanye better change his date cause he is going to be upset with his sales. Being cocky as usual and making demands (Kanye better change his release date) and starting trouble seems to be 50's M.O. Kanye is not a fighter and he'd get his a$$ kicked in a fight with 50 I'm sure. Sh!t, I'm upset with 50 for starting drama all the time, but I know y'all seen that six pack and those guns he calls "muscles", plus he probably really has guns (wow). Kanye might not have a six pack or totes weapons, but he sure knows how to talk slick and still be professional which I was always taught is the best way. He slapped 50 with intelligence! 50 was thirsty for a comeback response as he always is so he can go back and forth to promote his album, but Kanye's a$$ didn't even pay him any mind. He actually came back with a remark saying that he didn't even care if he came in second place with sales because he wasn't changing his album release date because it's important to him. So, he basically shut the whole battle down. Sorry 50 you'll have to argue with yourself on this one!

Coming To A Store Near You: Roberto Cavalli Designs Fall Line For H&M
I'm so happy that Italian designer Roberto Cavalli is designing a "cheaper" line of clothing for H&M. So, all y'all wannabe fashionistas who are addicted to H&M can finally say that y'all rock Cavalli. Set to hit H&M stores November 8th of this year he will create 25 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men; primarily evening wear. Cavalli is also adding lingerie and accessories to the line. So, fellas you guys can now say, "I'm in Cavalli jeans, got on Cavalli boxers" instead of singing along with Lil' Wayne. Cavalli's reason for teaming up with H&M, "I have dedicated this collection to young people, who will be able to wear a Cavalli piece of clothing for the New Year." In other words, what he meant to say was, "I have dedicated this collection for young people who otherwise could not afford to wear a Cavalli piece of clothing had I not teamed up with H&M." LMFAO!
You Got A Long Way To Go: Update on Singer Cassie
For months, I've been saying to myself, "I wonder what happened to Cassie?". The model turned singer quickly disappeared after dropping two singles. I would too if my album flopped. Well, according to her MySpace page she's currently filming the sequel Step It Up 2 and her song will be featured on the soundtrack. Who was stupid enough to actually pay to see the first one? I guess since her singing career fell off she has decided to get into the film industry. Shorty just needs to stick to modeling, where you don't have to read lines or sing. I wonder if Diddy dropped her from Bad Boy because her page clearly states "Indie" under the record label section. Well, y'all already know how Diddy is, so he probably did drop her a$$ from his label. Diddy probably got tired of her embarrassing him in public.
She's Simply Medgie: Exclusive Interview With The Beautiful & Talented Model/Actress


I'm so happy that Haitian bombshell Medgie took time out from her busy schedule to actually answer my questions because most people would've been like, "You need to talk to my publicist". But, that just comes to show y'all how sincere and humble she is. Shorty is on the rise to the TOP! So, take a look at the interview I had with her below. Y'all ain't gonna find this no where else. Why? Because this is an "It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth!" EXCLUSIVE!!!!!! I was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and raised in Brooklyn, New York.
I would describe my self as a young, self-motivated person, who at times can be very outspoken and opinionated. I’m obsessed with my work and determined to become successful!
Ummm...(Laughing) sadly enough I think I am one of the many people who are very passionate when it comes to the entertainment industry! Growing up, I would say to my friends and family that I wanted to become an actress, they would literally laugh in my face and ask me if I was serious! Ironically enough, people fail to realize that the entertainment industry has played an important role in shaping the lives of many people, whether being both negative and positive! I just hope that I too may become one of the individuals in the industry who help shape society for the better!
First, I would say to them, "Modeling isn’t what it appears to be!" It’s a tough industry to break into and no one is physically perfect for the job. I haven’t met one flawless model yet! So, before you can expect your audience to love you and love what you bring into the modeling industry, you first have to love yourself! And if that is your true passion, then go for it! Work hard, be you, stay focused, don’t believe everything that is offered to you, and always check into any documentation before signing! And success will follow after!
Other than modeling , I’m really focusing on finishing school! It can be hard at times because at the same time I model, act, work full-time, and attend school full-time!
Besides my parents, I would say my aunt was the most influential person in my life. She passed away in February 2005 of Bone Marrow Cancer. So, I’ve made a promise to myself and her that with the money I make from this industry I would like to start a charity for low and middle class people who are suffering with cancer, to help pay for their medical treatment. Money makes the world go round, the more money you have the best medical treatment you receive! And that is sad; everyone regardless of race and wealth should receive top-notch medical treatment!
Oh My!! (Laughing) I was hoping that I wouldn’t get this question one day! But, I will gladly share! I entered a beauty pageant at a school I attended in Sullivan County, New York and we had to perform a talent as part of the competition, I decided that I was going to step blindfolded on stage. For weeks, I practiced my routine at hours at a time! I had it mastered! When it came time to perform, I walked on stage, put my blind fold on, and did the damn thing! The crowd went crazy, and I was hyped, proud of the response that I received from the audience. Now, the whole time everyone was cheering me on I was walking off the stage, all the while struggling to take my blindfold off. And in a moment that seemed to have lasted forever, I walked right off the stage and fell into the audience, with the blindfold on! That was so embarrassing! But, me being who I am went back on stage and took a bow! That was my most embarrassing moment! Ssshhhh!! And tell no one!
"It Ain't Hate, It's Da Truth"- Well, at least she didn't bust her a$$ on stage like Miss Beyonce did while performing last week in Orlando. LMFAO
Ten years from now, where do you see yourself? What do you want to be remembered as?
Ummm… I really don’t know! (Laughing) Hopefully happy and healthy!
What is your favorite quote?
" With God, everything is possible!"

Saaphyri & Deelishis Think They're Important
Saaphyri and Deelishis from "Flavor of Love 2" tried to skip the line while waiting to use the restroom at VH1's roasting of Flava Flav last weekend. According to TMZ.com, one of their sources who was in the restroom at the time of the incident said that both ladies attempted to cut the line. However, a woman who was simply washing her hands was not about to let that slide. So, shorty told them to "F?!*kin Wait"! These two broads whose 15 minutes of fame should have ended already responded to the woman by saying, "Do you know who we are?". Now, seriously who are y'all? Then came the ultimate SHUT-DOWN, when the woman put them in their place by replying, "My outfit cost more than your rent!" Now, y'all know these two broads couldn't act civilized, so instead they began yelling obscenities at the woman. I guess they had no choice but to act ignorant. Saaphiryi didn't you learn anything from "Monique's Charm School"? It's funny how these two believe they're celebrities just because they've appeared on a stupid reality television show. We'll, in a way they are because they're the dumb ass broads who actually gave Flava Flav some play. It's crazy what people will do for fame.
